If you head over to Panorama BC take the Jumbo Glacier road further west and you come into an area with lots of the old mining equipment they used to use in the early 20th century. I believe most of it is where Toby creek and Jumbo creek meet. It has a really eerie feel to it since you are pretty much in the middle of nowhere at that point with a bunch of rusted old equipment.

I'm eagerly anticipating these shots, even though it is a ways off! I've always been fascinated with the URBEX photographers and in general scenes that show manmade decay in natural settings.

I think one of the most famous examples; at least for myself, would be the school bus covered in the snow made famous by Christopher "Alexander Supertramp" McCandless in the novel 'Into the Wild'. Or the SS America Star on the Canary Islands:
